{"product_id":"9780679755258","title":"The Massacre at El Mozote","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn December 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army's select, American-trained Atlacatl Battalion entered the village of El Mozote, where they murdered hundreds of men, women, and children, often by decapitation. Although reports of the massacre — and photographs of its victims — appeared in the United States, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In the end, El Mozote was forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Mark Danner's reconstruction of these events first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment. Now Danner has expanded his report into a brilliant book, adding new material as well as sources. He has produced a masterpiece of scrupulous investigative journalism that is also a testament to the forgotten victims of a neglected theater of the cold war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064621777136,"sku":"9780679755258","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679755258_p0.jpg?v=1763608051","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679755258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
